Eric Lee Usher, founder of Just Ask AVA

Meet the founder story

Built by
someone
who lived
the bottleneck

Eric Lee Usher grew up watching people he loved work themselves into the ground for a version of success that never made them free. Then he became that person too: he had built a life that ran him, not the other way around.

"Just Ask AVA was built from that realization."

Many owners don't have a business that gives them freedom. They have a job that depends on them for every decision, follow-up and loose end.
